opposition was meant to settle old scores. >> is it payback time for chuck hagel? that's what this process has amounted to? >> of course not. 99% of it is to do with the positions that senator hagel has taken. the positions he's taken on various issues has frankly been not only out of the mainstream but far to the left. we will have a vote when we get back, and i'm confident that senator hagel will probably have the votes necessary to be confirmed as the secretary of defense. we have an obligation of advice and consent. i don't intend to give those up when other senators continue to have reasonable questions. i mean reasonable. >> but you're not a yes vote for your old friend? >> no, i don't believe he's qualified, but i don't believe that we should hold up his nomination any further. >> all right. what do you think of what the senator had to say? fair? >> i think all of it was very fair. there are a lot of democrats right now that are asking the question. they've said it to us, that they're not sure if chuck hagel is qualified to be secretary of defense after his

what does that have to do with chuck hagel? >> well, john mccain has been trying to get answers from the white house about benghazi. i think he sees this as a moment of leverage now. he can hold this up. he's got a bunch of republican senators who will follow his lead. >> what does he want? what else does he want? >> he wants the white house to explain in great detail what the president was doing or what the president did the night of the attack. he wants to know exactly what was happening that night. and he said until he gets that information, he cannot move forward with a vote on chuck hagel who clearly had nothing to do with benghazi, but mccain's going to use this moment to get that information. >> don't you think it's more frustration on the part of mccain and graham that they can't really get the president of the united states to sit and respond to their questions? so they flail away at chuck hagel, you know, over benghazi. secretary clinton is gone. they can't get the president to sit before them. >> well, you know, the

but there's no doubt that chuck hagel went out of his way to step on toes. there were always these guys that would go up, and they'd want to cut your bill. funding on your bill. and instead of coming up to you saying, you know what? i just can't support this, this, this or this. it just doesn't make sense. i think we're wasting money. okay, we'll move things around and make sure that it pays for itself. but some guys would always go to the floor, get in front of the microphone and pound and rail against it. and use it for their own advantage back in their home district. now, there's a better way for chris christie to do what he did. his approval ratings are in the 70s. but if i'm a house republican, i'm going to go, you know, come on, buddy. let's talk about this behind closed doors. i'm just saying, i can understand why charles krauthammer said what he said. there are ways to do it. and chris has sharp elbows just like hagel had sharp elbows. that said, i agree with krauthammer. he needs to be at c-pac. >> and i think krauthammer is referring to a broader t

and that's one thing that we really didn't get a sense of from chuck hagel throughout the about three hours of testimony, he really made a passionate case for his love of serving the country, his expertise in this area, and the seriousness with which he would take some of the concerns these senators brought to him. promising more transparency, promising truthfulness when one democrat, in particular, said she has been, quote, jerked around by just about every cia director in her long tenure and time on that specific committee. so he was very persuasive there. when richard talks about the trouble he had with waterboarding, in part, he was really trying to avoid using the word "torture" because it does have a legal implication, and it has such a political implication. that that would have been such a huge headline if he had, in fact, called it torture. so he said pretty much everything around that. he does have the issue of having been part of a time when these things were used in saying, quite plainly, he didn't do anything to try to stop it. nears there's no record they could find of h
